Indefinite extended confirmed protection: Right now transclusions amount is closer to 10,000. George Ho (talk) 04:45, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Question: If I recall correctly, extended confirmed protection is not to be used unless in cases where disruption is actively occurring and semi protection has failed or will not work. Souldn't template protection be considered instead? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 09:32, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
Template-protection means no one (exactly no one) except an administrator or template-editor would accessibly edit this template. ECP allow others to edit... but not as many people as "autoconfirmed". Also, what about WP:NOTBUREAUCRACY, which discourages overly strict interpretations on rules, like WP:ECP? By the way, the protection on ECP is discussed at WP:AN. --George Ho (talk) 10:21, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
Oshwah is right - policy would show preference towards template protection in this case. ECP is only for after semi has proven insufficient. However, WikiProject templates do not typically have template protection according to my quick survey. Samsara 02:35, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
I requested an administrator to downgrade protection of Template:WikiProject University of California from template-protect to ECP. In fact, that template is used by 2,000+ pages. George Ho (talk) 02:47, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Also, I reread WP:PAG#Adherence. It says, Use common sense when interpreting and applying policies and guidelines; there will be occasional exceptions to these rules. However, it also says, Conversely, those who violate the spirit of a rule may be reprimanded even if no rule has technically been broken. If the template is TP-ed, this implies that administrators may not trust EC users to edit this template. ECP might be up to administrators, but very little or less amount of EC users are vandals or sockpuppets... right? George Ho (talk) 02:52, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Well... no. There's a big difference that we're missing here: We must understand that article content and template code are two entirely different things. Extended confirmed protection is to be used on articles and collaboration pages in order to protect the content from higher levels of disruption. Template protection restricts editing of widely-used or high-risk templates so that only users who have demonstrated competency and experience with the proper handling and modification of template code, objects, scripts, etc can modify them. This is due to the fact that making a mistake and pushing a change with bad code and without testing first can cause a very high level of damage and impact to the project in one save. These protection levels were designed from two entirely different processes, and placing ECP on templates is not the intended purpose of that protection level. I agree... common sense should always be used.... of course. Who wouldn't agree with that :-)? But this means that we don't (for example) chase administrators for applying ECP on an article when there's a clear need for it simply because he didn't apply semi first, then do it again. Although these protections levels do the same thing but at different user levels, they were made for entirely different areas and processes and are protecting pages for completely different reasons. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:07, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Total amount of EC users is nearly 30,000, while that of template editors is 147. Not many of people would request to become template editors. Why is that? George Ho (talk) 03:17, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
I think the idea is that people who need to edit templates should be given the template editor user right. You can request it at WP:PERM. I haven't worked in the permission-granting arena lately, but I would expect having the right granted would depend on prior experience in template editing. Samsara 04:54, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Isn't this asking for one of special rights? George Ho (talk) 05:02, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Template protected The administrative toolset isn't the place to apply WP:IAR. We receive the tools from the community to use them as dictated by the community. Until there's consensus to apply ECP to high-risk templates, we're unable to just assume we're allowed to do so on a widespread basis. ~ Rob13Talk 19:45, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Empire (2015 TV series)

Semi-protection: I would like to request protection for this page. The reason being that there has been a recurring problem with link spam from newly created accounts, and IP editors over the past few months. I have reported quite a few of these incidents recently, but I feel this could put a stop to it. To give you some idea of how bad things are, a few of the accounts I reported recently belong to this person. [1]. Apologies if this isn't in the right area but I would hope someone could help. 81.106.156.252 (talk) 14:19, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Battle of Friedland

Semi-protection: Persistent IP vandalism, edit warring. At the end of every month an anonymous user changes the first digit of every number in the 'Strength' section of the infobox to his own liking, so that 80,000 turn into 60,000, 46,000 to 86,000, 62,000 to 92,000 - all despite the numerous sources cited in the references (see: [2], [3], [4], [5]). Every number in the infobox is sourced and not identical to what he comes up with; i.e. there are 80,000, 46,000 and 62,000 mentioned in the books, not his 60,000, 86,000 and 92,000 taken from nowhere. Prior to those edits, he also made two attempts to remove all the references and leave only his unsourced numbers instead (see: [6], [7]). The user doesn't engage in discussion, his edits are clearly disruptive, misleading and cotradict both the article and the sources. Eriba-Marduk (talk) 13:54, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Unprotection: Admin protected it stating that the page is undergoing persistent disruptive editing. You can see there no evidence of disruptive editing. There was a minor content dispute, but it did not get worse or even near it to protect the page.

Indefinite extended confirmed: Persistent sockpuppetry – There has been an influx of SPAs, throwaway accounts, and obvious IP hopping sockpuppets that make WP:NPOV frequent violating edits to the article. This has been ongoing for the past several months and has become worse since the election. It become a source of considerable frustration for regular editors who actually follow sources, use the talk page, edit other areas of the project, etc. - MrX 03:11, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protected for a period of 3 months, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. @MrX: Let's try long-term semi first, as required by the protection policy. Many of the disruptive edits were by IPs or very new editors, so this may help. If it's still unmanageable, we could go in a few different directions. Note that this probably falls within the American politics topic area, which is subject to discretionary sanctions. ~ Rob13Talk 11:51, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: BLP policy violations – IPs adding WP:BLP violations in form of promotional junk from sources that violate WP:RS. Sagecandor (talk) 17:46, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Declined Protecting while AfD nominated is not a good course of action, as it may prevent needed improvements and "doom" the article. The "BLP violations" do not add up to much, it's more of a dispute over whether certain aspects should be included. On balance of those two things, I don't see a good rationale for protecting. Samsara 01:36, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Panthéon-Assas University

Protection: There is a disruptive editing on the Panthéon-Assas page. One user is not happy with the reputation of this university of "top law school of France" that all the sources state (he’s deleting in the lead, but there are more sources in the "reputation" section, so he’s deleting things with sources, and is doing only personal attacks on me in talk page (like I would be clearly protecting paid contribution!?)

Note that it’s part of a broader POV pushing on the Sorbonne in general. There is currently a push on Pantheon-Sorbonne_University and there has been vandalism through false edit summaries also on Sorbonne University (alliance) and Sorbonne Law School pages, or with no edit summary of Paris-Sorbonne University page. But for example my work on University of Lorraine or the good ranking that I add in Aix-Marseille University page is not vandalized because there is no link with the name Sorbonne. There was also Science Po but it has already been fully protected. I took care of the latter Sorbonne University and Sorbonne Law School, others are taking care of Pantheon-Sorbonne and Paris-Sorbonne, but the user is insisting on Panthéon-Assas (Sorbonne Law School) and is now attacking me personally on talk page.

--Launebee (talk) 21:46, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, cross-wiki disruptive contributions have targeted pages related to Pantheon-Sorbonne_University (or its rival, like Sciences Po which is already protected because of Launebee's contributions).
I have 30'000+ contributions on the French Wikipedia, and we had to deal with the same problem during the last months (same methods, same articles). But to put it simply :
To go back to this specific article, I have already mentionned (with references) on the talk page that a lot of mainstream newspapers rank this university far from the top places. It doesn't bother Launebee, and he/she keep putting again, and again, that the university "has always been ranked first in law in national rankings". He or she knows that the claim is false, but keeps putting it on the lead section. XIIIfromTOKYO (talk) 22:38, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

The user doesn't engage in discussion on the Talk, his edits are clearly disruptive, misleading and not supported by the sources. I do not understand his motive but it's messing up this article.

I have attempted to discuss this directly on user talk with one of the editors. I have taken this to BLP/N; an uninvolved editor there agreed with my position and removed the material. I have started a thread on page talk. IP editors will not engage, continuing to make their case in edit summary, creating an edit war situation in live pagespace. While this IS a content dispute, the issue is reinsertion of BLP vio material about a minor child by multiple ips. BusterD (talk) 15:34, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Panthéon-Assas University

Update to unlimited full protection The disruptive user does not want to talk and is ready to have the same behaviour as soon as the one week protectionn stops. When I undeline in edit summary that he needs to use talk page, he rerversed and wrote more than 20'000 bytes of discussion since April. The problems have already been explained, so it's time to remove the obvious PR gibberish. He thinks he has already explained enough so he is entitled to disrupte the page.

Now he’s beginning a personal vendetta against me in talk page, and explaining at all why he wants to supress statements with sources.

He’s even wanting to put in the article defamatory statements (imaginary criminal activity in this university, or imaginary reputation to this) (I menntionned it in ANI).

I’m not saying to block any change, but to protect the page so that an admin can watch it, until further notice, since this disruptive editing has been going for very long (you can see the edits in June 2016) and the user is not ready to stop.

--Launebee (talk) 00:49, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

As you can see in the Talk:Sciences Po, there is a long discussion about Launebee disruptive contributions. A report as been done at the ANI, because a growing number of contributors are reporting problems about his/her contributions.
Launebee asked for the protectection of Panthéon-Assas University 4 days ago. It has been protected on his/her version. As you can see, he or she simply vanished from the talk page. He or she is just trying to push the same strategy that he or she has already used on an other article (Sciences Po‎, a rival school of Panthéon-Assas University). I have already check these articles histories, and anyone can see the result there. Launebee tries to keep the warning templates as long as possible on the Sciences Po‎ article, and tries to keep the same warning templates removed from the Panthéon-Assas University for as long as possible.
So I have nothing against a long protection if the warning templates are put back to the Panthéon-Assas University article. That probably the only way to bring him/her back to the talkpage. XIIIfromTOKYO (talk) 01:47, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Panthéon-Assas University

Update to a month protection One user says in PA talk page he’s wanting to put what is in fact libelous statement in the article, even if I explained him how libelous his statements are. All the rankings issues would not need protection for now and admins could change it, but libel is serious, and we should at least wait for the admins to say if it is libelous or not. Everyone can see by himself that the quotes provided are not at all saying what the user says, and that even if these articles were saying that, without any court decision collaborating these alleged (and not existing) criminal activities inside this university, they would be themselves libelous and should not be repeated in Wikipedia. But they are not saying that at all anyway.

There is currently a thread in the ANI (admin attention at Sciences Po - they say PA is a rival from SP, so if SP have scandals - even with official sentences -, PA page should include equivalent statements - even if it is based on nothing for SP), I suggest then we wait until the admins have said something.

Unprotection: Not likely to have vandalism, and it has been protected for nearly 5 years. 219.79.96.172 (talk) 14:19, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Question:. Have you asked JamesBWatson? CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 14:25, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Why do you think the article is "not likely to have vandalism"? It has been repeatedly protected from January 2008 onwards because of vandalism, and each time protection has ended, a flood of vandalism has come. That happened over the course of several years. What reason is there to suppose it would be different now? I can unprotect the article, but my bet is that it will need to be back under protection again pretty soon. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:54, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
Observation: @JamesBWatson: Would lowering the protection level to pending changes possibly work here? And if the vandals return, then you could re-apply semi-protection when needed again. 73.96.113.64 (talk) 04:28, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
My experience over the years is that with articles like this, where vandalism is endemic for year after year by numerous different editors, pending changes is not very effective. Pending changes merely means that only logged-in editors see the vandalised version of the article; we still get just as many vandalism edits, and it is still necessary for other editors to spend time cleaning up the vandalism. Checking in the period just before I applied protection the last time, I find that almost all editing consisted of vandalism by unregistered or new editors followed by reverting by other editors. The amount of time wasting saved by protection was enormous, and the amount of collateral damage virtually nil, as you need to search through hundreds of vandalism edits to find even one or two constructive edits by non-confirmed editors. I'll try switching to pending changes, and if I'm proved wrong then I'll be delighted, but I don't hold out much hope that it will be effective.

@Oshwah: Yup, I meant to select regular semi-protection. The edits are pretty simple to revert and they rarely seem to try to edit-war over them, but my main hope for the semi is to get them to use the talk page. It's a IPv6 address that's very consistent (small range of variations, /64 I think) but a new one each time so communication is impossible. Understand though.

Hi, working through AfC backlog and found a draft that has some good sources so I was going to accept, but a page by this title was salted six years ago, and protecting admin has since retired.

Hi, working through AfC backlog and found a draft that has some good sources so I was going to accept, but a page by this title was salted six years ago, and protecting admin has since retired.

Question: @Dr.K.: This looks like a dispute. Has a talk page discussion been started about this? Samsara 22:56, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
This IP is making mass changes across many articles changing templates without discussion. The IP is using socks to make these mass changes. Please see Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of 79.56.133.135. Dr. K. 23:00, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
I hope you'll forgive me if I don't consider that evidence, as all additions to that category were made by you. Samsara 23:03, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
These are bona-fide IP ducks. If you'd like I can open an SPI but that would be a waste of time, given the amount of evidence, based on edits and geolocation. Dr. K. 23:05, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Two of the three IPs have made a small number of changes - in one case four, in another case eight to six separate articles. We do not exclude dynamic IP addresses from editing unless they are clearly disruptive - same as any other kind of user. What I see here is that neither the IP users nor you have discussed the issue on any talk page - correct me if I'm wrong. Samsara 23:08, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Normally, dynamic IPs making mass changes across many articles through edit-warring are considered disruptive and articles get protected to avoid that disruption. Obviously you don't agree in this particular case. I disagree with your conclusion but I don't think this noticeboard is a suitable place to have a disagreement over this.

What I see here is that neither the IP users nor you have discussed the issue on any talk page - correct me if I'm wrong. Samsara 23:08, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Normally, dynamic IPs making mass changes across many articles through edit-warring are considered disruptive and articles get protected to avoid that disruption. Obviously you don't agree in this particular case. I disagree with your conclusion but I don't think this noticeboard is a suitable place to have a disagreement over this.

Declined I'm not seeing much in the way of BLP violations, vandalism, or addition of unsourced content by autoconfirmed editors in the last couple days that hasn't been promptly handled. Plus, if any one user is too disruptive to handle, the article is under {{2016 US Election AE}} discretionary sanctions, which can be used to combat persistent disruptive editing.

@Binksternet: I keep seeing cases like these where there's a dispute and no discussion is offered by either side; rather, the "winning" side keeps telling the other side to discuss without themselves volunteering a section on the talk page. As such, I grant semi-protection somewhat hesitantly in this case and only because the situation has already escalated - which might have been prevented. Please make sure in cases like these that you open discussion so that we can clearly determine who has shown willingness to actually discuss. Thank you. Samsara 21:43, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

I would concur with Oshwah on this, and add that from the diffs, it looks like you have also removed prose and references in your "restore" edit. As an uninvolved person, it is not immediately clear to me why this was done. It gives the appearance of a dispute. If they continue their attempt to create a circular redirect, we will certainly do something about it. Samsara 14:18, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – User from China continues to revert, has failed to understand MoS, repeated information, which is WP:Overlink or too many links. Govvy (talk) 14:01, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Question: @Govvy: If this is about the MoS, please explain this edit. Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Section headings seems to be a relevant section of the MoS. Samsara 14:34, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
Because there are two separate lists one saying director, one saying producer, but in reality he has produced and directed most of his films, I combined it into one table to make it simple with notes saying what he has done. So the way I did it is less repeated information. But the user from the Chinese IP reverted it back to the confusing two tables split by his acting credits in the middle, the original layout at the article before I went to improve it, is very poor. Govvy (talk) 14:49, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
That doesn't sound like the edit I was pointing to. Samsara 14:55, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
I am not on about the headings, I am on lists or tables of MoS, you have two tables more or less the same. This is off topic now, I am going to restore the table I did and the Chinese IP is just going to revert me probably. He/she hasn't replied to my comment on the talk page of the article. :/ Govvy (talk) 16:09, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

I would concur with Oshwah on this, and add that from the diffs, it looks like you have also removed prose and references in your "restore" edit. As an uninvolved person, it is not immediately clear to me why this was done. It gives the appearance of a dispute. If they continue their attempt to create a circular redirect, we will certainly do something about it. Samsara 14:18, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – User from China continues to revert, has failed to understand MoS, repeated information, which is WP:Overlink or too many links. Govvy (talk) 14:01, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Question: @Govvy: If this is about the MoS, please explain this edit. Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Section headings seems to be a relevant section of the MoS. Samsara 14:34, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
Because there are two separate lists one saying director, one saying producer, but in reality he has produced and directed most of his films, I combined it into one table to make it simple with notes saying what he has done. So the way I did it is less repeated information. But the user from the Chinese IP reverted it back to the confusing two tables split by his acting credits in the middle, the original layout at the article before I went to improve it, is very poor. Govvy (talk) 14:49, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
That doesn't sound like the edit I was pointing to. Samsara 14:55, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
I am not on about the headings, I am on lists or tables of MoS, you have two tables more or less the same. This is off topic now, I am going to restore the table I did and the Chinese IP is just going to revert me probably. He/she hasn't replied to my comment on the talk page of the article. :/ Govvy (talk) 16:09, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: This article received once a protection period, but as it was some time ago, I'm going to justify the problem once again. Before I've promoted this to FL status, users added peak positions for Romanian charts - which btw is hard to find - without references; I found references and changed some positions when they were other like in the sources found by me. However, many IPs aren't ok with this fact and repeatedly change referenced peak positions with those unsourced ones from the past.

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing. This page (along with Heather O'Rourke) has been the target of the same IP hopping editor.

This article has been the subject of nonsensical, unsourced and generally disruptive edits for several years. Editors have added unsourced content about intent to bury her in a specific cemetary, unsourced details regarding events that happened decades before the subject's birth, details about where the subject went to elementary school, changing terms such as "child" to "little girl" ([35], [36], [37], [38], [39]), adding deliberate factual errors ([40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45]), referencing the individual wearing diapers while portraying a character in a TV movie, etc.
Please review the lengthy discussions on the talk page about these edits. The article has been protected twice already in 2016. Although this has been protected with pending-changes protection for one year, I am instead requesting indefinite full protection of this article. AldezD (talk) 18:48, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
@AldezD: Fair enough. I really can't justify indefinite semi-protection or any protection level above semi-protection right now, so I went with semi-protection for one year and then pending changes for another year. If the disruption continues when the one year of semi-protection expires then we can consider indefinite semi-protection. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 18:57, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Unprotection: This page has been move protected for over nine years now. It seems full protection was originally added in 2007 due to libel concerns, and then User:Causa sui reduced the protection level to move protection about a month later citing "enough protection". In that same spirit, and given that moves never were a problem for this page in the first place, I think we should remove the protection from this page. (Both protecting admins are now inactive; Causa sui stated that he was inactive in this discussion.). Brycehughes (talk) 21:09, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

@Everymorning: Thanks for pointing this out, and @Ks0stm: thanks for drawing it to my attention. Interestingly enough, I had no idea that this page had ever been created, let alone that it had been repeatedly created, as administrators just deleted it, without telling me. The first time, in 2014, was a good faith mistake, but all the others were vandalism by sockpuppets of one person. Since the vandalism creations were all in April and June of this year, there doesn't seem to be any pressing need to protect it, but I may as well, since there is no good reason for anyone to ever create it.

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Not only the article, two of us have a long dispute about linking the name of the person and using names. Can anyone reinsert "Raymond" or change the link back to "Raymond Chan Chi-chuen"? George Ho (talk) 07:52, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Not done I have, however, warned both editors (Lmmnhn and George Ho) about edit-warring. In fact I very seriously considered blocking both of them immediately, as checking their editing history made it clear that they are both very well aware of the edit-warring policy, and so don't need a warning. Protection is not normally the way to deal with an edit-war between just two accounts. George Ho should also take note of the fact that asking for a page to be fully protected and one's own edit to be restored is not a good idea: that amounts to trying to use protection to "win" an edit-war, not to prevent disruptive editors from causing disruption to the page.

Semi-protected for a period of 1 day, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. In this case, this appeared to be IP vandalism, so I've semi'd for a day.

Extended confirmed protected @RickinBaltimore: This was a government set up by Israel to govern only the territories that remain disputed between Israel and Palestine, so it is intrinsically part of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.

Temporary semi-protection: frequent IP edits that violate NPOV. The edits relate to a collision between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix; the article states that they made contact and retired, but the IP editor keeps changing it to say Rosberg caused the collision. As Rosberg narrowly won the championship, the implication of these edits is that Rosberg deliberately took Hamilton out of the race and is an undeserving champion.

Permanent Extended-Confirmed Protection: Per a large amount of edit warring, mostly by IPs and autoconfirmed users, I request permanent extended-confirmed protection until the edit warring is resolved and the subsequent users are warned or banned.

Yes, indeed. I regularly look through the sockpuppet investigation list to see if I can makes sense of anything and possibly help out, and noticed this one.

Semi-protection: IPs, who I do believe all represent one person, keep removing "derogatory" from the definition (disruptively IMO), and registered users have little chance against them unless they want to edit war. Bishonen | talk 17:28, 16 December 2016 (UTC).

I'm tempted to extended confirmed protect this under the WP:ARBPIA remedy, but I'm not sure it's related enough to that. Any other admins have opinions on this? Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 18:59, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
Given the disruption was only from anons, I'd settle for semi. But I play by different rules :) If I were to go by the auto-ECP stuff, I would say this marginally meets ARBPIA. Content directly related to the conflict appears to be contained within one section, and with limited prose. Digging through, I see good edits from users who aren't extended confirmed, but it seems disruption from unconfirmed users is ongoing, so I wouldn't oppose a more lengthy semi — MusikAnimal talk 00:54, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Note that it was semi-protected by Ponyo for a day. After this semi-prtection expires, I would opt for a long-term semi (such as 6 months or a year) and see whether additional disruption arises.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:47, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection: The page was protected to "pending changes status" by NeilN on 1 July 2016 for 6 months. The protection is due to expire in two weeks, and since being protected the disruptive editing hasn't ceased. Blocking won't help as the disruptive editing is done by IP's. Requesting to increase protection to semi-protected as "pending changes status" still requires editors to waste time reverting these disruptive edits, and regardless at the minimum current status should be extended. Thanks, --SuperJew (talk) 09:33, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Party of the Danes

Indefinite semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – High level of disruption from IPs. . K.e.coffman (talk) 16:47, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Question: @K.e.coffman: I find it difficult to evaluate this as vandalism - at first assessment, it looks like a dispute over whether Swedish sources can be used to make statements about a Danish political party. Three sources are from Danish domains, the rest are Swedish and in fact duplicated (this would be a simple copy-editing fix). So I see that one side is potentially inflating sources, the other until recently was removing sourced statements, but seems to have now settled on leaving a POV tag at the top of the article, and is in fact clamouring for discussion. So my current inclination is to decline this request as a dispute and recommend dispute resolution. Do you have any further comments on this? Samsara 17:11, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
I'll shortly close this as declined (dispute resolution) - unless someone wants to offer a second opinion here. Samsara 20:32, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
  • The IPs editing the article are removing perfectly well-sourced text in a tendentious way, IMO. Denying that the Swedish Expo is a reliable source is absurd. But I wouldn't exactly call it vandalism — it's more in the nature of using dynamic IPs to avoid being pinned down. But that's allowed (sigh). It may be as well to decline semi for now and see if dispute resolution will do anything, Samsara — if not, I may possibly semi it later, if things go from bad to worse. Anyway, I'll be watching the article. (I can read Danish and Swedish.) Bishonen | talk 20:52, 17 December 2016 (UTC).
  • Great - thanks for the comment and the watching. With your Danish+Swedish expertise, you'll do a better job than I could have. I'll just mention for completeness that some ISPs dynamically reallocate IP addresses with no user input - I often see allegations of deliberate "hopping" from those who are not aware of the nature of dynamic IP allocation. It isn't always malicious. :) Samsara 21:07, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – IP-hopping vandal who persistently alters (against MOS:FULLNAME etc) subject's real name. Warnings no use because they keep changing their IP. Shearonink (talk) 17:43, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Question: @Shearonink: In their latest edit, they added new material relative to the previous ones, but you reverted "as before". Was the addition inaccurate? Samsara 19:34, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
The problem is that they are adding the military title as if it is the person's name. For instance, the George Washington article doesn't delineate the subject in the lede sentence as General George Washington or President George Washington...he is delineated as "George Washington [birthdate] was a soldier and..." I am AGF'ing here, but they are apparently hopping from IP to IP, and there has been no response to any of the various notices or warnings left on their talkpages. If it is the same person, so far the recent IPs have all been in the 41.137.59.xx range: 41.137.59.72, 41.137.59.80, 41.137.59.69, & 41.137.59.64. (Other IPs in the 41.137.59.xx range - like 41.137.59.117 - have been doing similar edits to related Warner/Dandridge/Washington family articles...but that's a matter for another noticeboard.) Shearonink (talk) 03:19, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Geez, I've been looking at some other articles for research and have found that some biographical articles have the title in the lede sentence (John Dandridge, George S. Patton), but then some don't (like George Marshall, Robert E. Lee). It still doesn't seem correct according to Wikipedia rules to have the military rank incorporated into the subject's name in the lede sentence. Shearonink (talk) 03:39, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Maybe you still haven't seen it, but in the latest edit they also added "was a Virginia planter, politician, and landowner", which you hard-reverted with an edit summary of "as before", even though it was not "as before". I fail to see how that particular change they made was bad. Samsara 08:34, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
I saw that before I checked in here. I'll go in and change the name back to the name Warner actually had and leave yet another notice that his name is his name for yet another IP. This editor has again changed multiple biographical articles in the same fashion, inserting the "Col." abbreviation for Colonel into the lede as if that is the person's name.... I suppose I'll change all those back to the actual name too - an ongoing issue is that the 41.137.59.xx editor (assuming that they are all the same person) has never responded to any notices or posts on their various user talk pages. Shearonink (talk) 15:12, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Besides the MOS:FULLNAME issue, did some further digging and was unable to find any references that back up claimed military rank. Shearonink (talk) 17:16, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
@Shearonink: If it's a pattern across multiple articles and they can be shown to have ignored already-initiated talk page discussions, it makes sense to protect all affected pages in the same fashion (i.e. we'd need to compile a reasonably comprehensive list of these and semi-protect them all). Right now, I see that the talk pages, Talk:Augustine Warner and Talk:Augustine Warner, Jr. are empty. Can you point to a venue where you have initiated discussion that they have ignored? Thanks. Samsara 17:30, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
A venue...how about the notices on the associated user-talk pages, the various edit-summaries on the articles have all been ignored. It sounds like you think I should post a thread regarding MOS:FULLNAME, unsupported changes, etc., on the individual talk pages of every single Warner/Washington/Lee article that this pattern of editing by the 41.137.59.xx editor has emerged upon... Alrighty then. Shearonink (talk) 17:45, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Template:Telephone numbers in Kosovo

Reduction in protection level: From full protection to template editor protection because the page needs an update according to independent sources and the latest developments. Page does not provide sufficent sources and does not include recent developments as stated in the latest ITU Bulletin from 01.12.2016 [1] or RFERL [2] . Also the informations about ownership of the dialing code are wrong since there is no such data available yet. Declaration on MTS d.o.o is also wrong according to the latest official statement by the EU on the deal. [3]

MØ

Semi-protection: Removal of sourced content/addition of unsourced content by multiple anonymous users. Slightly lengthy background: The article is about a Danish musician who goes by the name of MØ. The various anonymous users seem to be under the impression her name is pronounced like -oo, -uh, or other English vowel sounds, unaware that this is not an English sound. This sound has an article which shows that there is no direct English approximation.

MØ herself stated it is pronounced like "'mercy' without the 'cy'", attempting to approximate the vowel sound with a consonant. This sourced quote is in the introduction, and is frequently replaced by anonymous users with links to YouTube videos of MØ pronouncing her name because it sounds to them like she is simply pronouncing it at as -oo, -uh, etc., completely disregarding the quote where she actually describes the sound, rather than just pronouncing it.

These anonymous users have not contributed any other edits to Wikipedia besides these, and logged-in editors have not edited the article in such an egregious way. Bruto (talk) 00:41, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Unprotection: I had a talk with Mark Arsten. He told me to take the request to here. This year, I don't see much vandalism. The last vandalism would be either January of this year or December of last year. The PC was enabled three years ago due to vandalism by Kcoen, now blocked. I saw last year's logs of reverts based on vandalism. This year, I see some reverts but nothing on unsourced additions or vandalism. Nevertheless, an ArbCom case resulted in discretionary sanctions toward edits on BLPs. In this case, is PC protection still necessary?. George Ho (talk) 20:34, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Permanent semi-protection or pending changes.

Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 18:18, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

We might need to wait a little bit, but at this point it looks to me like there is only one user who restored the redirect after an RfD close, the user got some explanations at their talk page earlier today, and so far did not continue. If they resume, I guess they should be warned again and then blocked. Unless other users start reverting, I do not see much room for a full protection.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:03, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
@Ymblanter: I suppose that's fair. I just figured I'd toss it here since I'm involved and can't take any administrative action regarding this. I'll re-request if other users get involved in the edit warring and make any reports as necessary to ANEW. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 20:58, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Oshwah, can you please explain why you only semi-protected for one day, despite the request for extended semi-protection? Did you read the logs on the article, including the previous semi-protections and the rev-dels? Vandalism started right back up after the previous semi-protection of one week ended. Normally when that happens, the next round of semi-protection is increased in length beyond the length that the previous semi-protection was for -- in this case, that would be, say, two weeks). Did you read the extended rationale behind the request above by two editors? If you are not going to permanently semi-protect, please at least semi-protect through the end of the holiday season, which would be until at least January 2 UTC, by which time more page-watchers will be online watching the article.

User talk:TheGracefulSlick

Indefinite extended-confirmed protection: Persistant vandalism from socks. Several temporary protection statuses have failed to stop pattern of vandalism on page.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:21, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

@TheGracefulSlick: This is a very unusual situation. Let me talk to another administrator about possible solutions before committing one way or another. If your talk page were subject to ECP, would you be willing to set up an alternative talk page for non-extendedconfirmed editors to message you, linked to from your typical one? ~ Rob13Talk 10:23, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
BU Rob13 I would do that, but what would stop the vandal from moving to that page? I haven't had much problems when the protection was enabled with communicating with others so an indefinite ECP is not a bad option. I still have until the 28th so if you want to speak with another admin, I can wait a little.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:49, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
I do not think we should extended confirmed protect user talk pages. If there are autoconfirmed users causing disruption they should be reported and blocked.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:08, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
Before declining, please take a look at the page's protection log. This is obviously an exceptional case. Semi-protection has been tried many times before but it didn't work. The vandal has an unknown number of autoconfirmed sleeper socks, and having an expiry date for protection is only motivating them to simply wait it out. Sro23 (talk) 19:12, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
Pinging Ymblanter to the above. The level of disruption here is so great and persistent that I think an exception can/should be made if an alternative talk page is set up. I wouldn't say indefinite, but I can say long-term (2 months, probably). I know that I function in a big way off of the emails I get every time someone messages me on my talk page. This is ruining that big-time. TheGracefulSlick, this lets you skip the notifications every time you're vandalized. It could move to the alternate talk page, but it could also just as easily move to another user's talk page. By moving it off of the main one, you can just check the page every couple days and not worry too much about active vandalism. Getting back to the productive work of the encyclopedia, etc etc. ~ Rob13Talk 22:16, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
I would not be opposed to this solution, but I think asking CU to find the sleepers is more effective.--Ymblanter (talk) 22:18, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
BU Rob13 I did not realize I would not receive notifications from the alternative talk page. With that being said, I am much more willing to agree to this plan. Ymblanter this vandal has dozens of sleepers and constantly creates more just for the sake of going after me. CU will never get rid of them all.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 04:48, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Again, the sleeper accounts are old, so a CU wouldn't be able to help. Also, I don't think an unprotected talk page is a good idea, as the vandal would simply move on to that page. TheGracefulSlick isn't an administrator, vandal fighter, or really a patroller of any sort, so there's going to be less of a need for IP's, new users/non EC users to contact them. And I see no reason why the vandal would move to another user's talk; they've made it pretty clear who their target is. I know we normally try to avoid protecting talk pages, but if there ever was a time WP:IGNORE would be most appropriate, I think it would be right now. This user has endured so much harassment, and here's an easy solution to put an end to it, yet he is refused. That's very disheartening. You can go ahead and decline this request, but the cycle will continue. It's happened every time protection expired in the past. One last thing. Indefinite doesn't have to mean forever. Of course protection could be lifted after a while if there is evidence things have died down, I just think it's a bad idea to set an expiry date on the protection at this moment. Sro23 (talk) 02:06, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Have TGS put a notice on their talk about how to ping them to a conversation, and explaining the protection, and then protect. Revisit in good time. TimothyJosephWood 02:14, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Ritchie333 this vandal is not CA. Back when there was a SPI case, some of this current vandal's sockpuppets were mixed into the case, and were found by Mike V to be unrelated to CA's sockpuppets. I'm really dissappointed in this outcome because just looking at my talk page's protection history shows this ECP will be no different than the last.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:46, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Given that the need for extended-confirmed protection seems to have been recognised since October I find it very disappointing that no-one has given an extended application of it yet. Policy does require you to set up an unprotected talk subpage, but for your main talk page a protracted ECP is certainly appropraite in my books. Given how the troll explicitly taunts that they will return immediately on expiry, I do not believe indefinite would be inappropriate—unprotection could be tried after a certain unannounced period of time. I won't overrule Floquenbeam's decision at this time, but wanted to add my view. 🎄BethNaught (talk)🎄 22:23, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

zzuzz thank you, unfortunately I am betting on talking to you soon. You mentioned this old vandal. Does a vandal that commonly writes "I'm not a massive fan" ring a bell to you? This seems to be his/her trademark.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 22:57, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
That is Hamish Ross. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:59, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
Done Considering the history, the vandal, and threats continuing at this time, I've extended the protection to indefinite. That's not infinite, but probably a very long time. @TheGracefulSlick: I suggest you set up an unprotected talk page, which won't pester you as much but will allow others to communicate with you if necessary, and we can review that if it becomes a problem. -- zzuuzz (talk) 02:00, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
I've never dealt with such levels of talk page vandalism before (with sleepers and all), but I have dealt with lesser degrees of vandalism and created a secondary talk page subpage (something similar to what Zzuzz mentioned above) once after my normal one was made inaccessible for awhile for IPs and non-autoconfirmed users. Vandals can still indirectly harass you, but at least they won't mess up with your normal talk page stuff. Anyway, I hope this works out for you. Dustin (talk) 02:22, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Semi-protection or IP rangeblock: Persistent vandalism, or at best edit-warring to insert an indefensible/repugnant POV, by a series of IPs in the range 2602:30b:37ba:e7e0 over the past few days. (I'm not sure how to request a rangeblock at AIV so here I am; if a better venue would have been appropriate, kindly advise!) In my humble unadministrative opinion, revdel warrants consideration.

Since then they have made about a dozen similar edits. As a BLP that has been targeted persistently over a relatively long period of time by a IP hopping account I was hoping it would be an ideal candidate for pending changes.

Permanent semi-protection: Extremely high level of very vile BLP-violating IP vandalism which kicks back up the instant the page is unprotected. Softlavender (talk) 08:09, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

NOTE: This BLP article has been getting a high level of vile vandalism since October (much of which has been revdelled by Boing! said Zebedee) because he is a highly visible investigative journalist and Trump critic, an epileptic, and a half-Jew, and he is suing a Trump supporter for sending him epileptogenic tweets. Two people requested extended semi-protection yesterday [64] but it was inexplicably protected for only 24 hours, in spite of the fact that the previous semi-protection was one week and the vandalism started up immediately after that. Since October the page has been vandalized 58+ times by 15 different accounts from widespread locations. This is likely going to continue all the way through Donald Trump's presidency (i.e., for the next four to eight years). Softlavender (talk) 08:09, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi CambridgeBayWeather, it has not been recreated once, but a multiple number of times. The previous titles (two of which I could trace) are already create protected by samtar and MSGJ. When the editors are not able to recreate the old titles, they modify the name and create the content under a slightly modified name. Given this, would you reconsider your decline?

@CambridgeBayWeather: Given the ArbCom remedy, these should really be indefinitely protected. If the remedy is ever lifted, and I somewhat doubt it will be, then we would go through systemically and remove these protections. But until then, we don't want to have hundreds of pages to reprotect each year. ~ Rob13Talk 20:22, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
BU Rob13. Is there somewhere where it gives the length they should be protected? I did look some time ago but couldn't see anything. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 20:28, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
@CambridgeBayWeather: Well, the protection is just our method of implementing the indefinite restriction at WP:ARBPIA3#500/30, so I think the "natural" length is indefinite. Until ArbCom lifts the remedy, new editors are not allowed to edit in the topic area whether or not protection is in place, and the protection just serves to enforce that. ArbCom has been clear that there is no administrator discretion on this remedy; it's a blanket ban on new editors contributing in the topic area, essentially. ~ Rob13Talk 21:00, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

More redirects

Extended confirmed protection: Per WP:ARBPIA3. A lot more of redirect pages to Arab–Israeli conflict. George Ho (talk) 19:27, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Not done I'm going to decline this due to lack of necessity and the potential time sink this will create if we go down this rabbit hole. It's so unlikely that new editors will choose to edit redirects that ECP doesn't seem necessary to enforce the ArbCom remedy. There's thousands upon thousands of redirects like this to various pages in the topic area, and we can't field RFPP requests for all of them. ~ Rob13Talk 20:20, 25 December 2016 (UTC)
@BU Rob13:I guess that depends on what we are trying to avoid. If the concern is just that new editors can get carried away when editing this topic, leaving redirects as they are makes sense. If the concern is that autoconfirmed accounts are being created specifically to be able to POV push in the topic area then it could be considered wise to ECP related redirects to avoid the creation of POV forks.
Perhaps we should seek clarification from ARBCOM.
I agree that the number is an issue. Can we give the task to a bot? Yaris678 (talk) 23:27, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

The only reason that I didn't was the fact that some discussion seems to be currently taking place on the article's talk page over different disagreements. I'm going to side with my gut hesitation and hold off; if edit warring continues by either user after the protection expires, they can be blocked for edit warring without further warning or notice. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 11:47, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Temporary semi-protection: Persistent disruptive editing – Req: 5 day semi, please. I'm involved, or I'd do it myself.

My attempts to clarify the dispute rather than assert a single value have been met with resistance. Also, I suspect sockpuppetry (ARUL king and Arviirajmm) I can't help but wonder if someone's not trying to close out the calendar year with Kabali on top of the world... 5 days would get us through 1 Jan.

I suspect notability is met, seems to attract a fair amount of news coverage. [72] From a quick survey of such news, there seem to be controversial aspects that weren't yet covered by the article, e.g. [73] [74] [75] [76] Three of those links are to The Indian Express.

  • Before anyone here takes the IP's words for it I want to point out that the IP added sources (one of which is dubious at best) only after I requested protection here, and even then only parts of the edit were sourced, while the edits before that (among other things inflating the number of fighters of a certain type from 2 to 22, and helicopters from 30 to 43, and removing comments about how many of them are airworthy...) were totally unsourced.
